i never use those i use the 60748 kit. its only 5.5 inches tall.

with your 20s and the tb coils cut off the top only like i posted in my link you should be 31 easy at all corners and ride great.

You think rancho 9000XLs would ride better than 5100s?

They aren't cut at all, I have the 60769 bags but haven't used them since I swapped out the 5305 coils (which rode much nicer). Rear shocks are 22.5" Bilstein 5100s with belltech 6651 shock extensions, ride is decent for how low it sits but I know more can be had and bags would be nice for towing.

cant pm due to posts.

What is the most static drop you can get away with without frame notching with, air helper bags? (2002 escalade)

also why dont I see more people with 3in arms and drop spindles? am i missing something, wouldnt that be and easy way to drop the front tons without messing with the spring rate of the torsion bar?

Im in between a rock and a hard place. Im addicted to slammed vehicles, but bough my escalade to tow my car around in the summer......

not many people want to go 5 inches in front but ive done a lot of them

for the front you can do the djm 3 inch a arms with djm shocks and belltech 2 inch drop spindles for 5 inches. In rear you can do the djm hardware kit with the djm 1800 shock and the tb spring cut 1.5 loops and use the air helper bags from airlift and you will be pretty good.

but what size tires are you running on your truck.
